Pierre Paulin

Pierre Paulin

Pierre Paulin was one of the most important designers of the 20th century. He is perhaps best known for his innovative designs for Artifort of the 1960s– the famed Mushroom Chair (1959), the Ribbon Chair (1966) and the Tongue chair (1968)– but Paulin was also highly influential and involved in French design through the 1970s as well. Today, Paulin's designs are found in the collections of major museums across the world such as MoMA in New York, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and London's Victoria and Albert Museum.
